CentrePort Wellington: new Green Award incentive provider

CentrePort Wellington has decided to award a reduction on port dues to sea-going vessels certified by the Green Award Foundation. With this decision CentrePort Wellington, which is a focal point in central New Zealand's logistics network, is actively voicing its policy to promote quality in the port.

The incentive offered by CentrePort for Green Award accredited bulk carriers and oil tankers is 3% of the port's Marine Services Charge (MSC) applicable to each specific vessel. The official commencement date is the 27th of February 2007.

Green Award is delighted with the participation of CentrePort Wellington. Green Award hopes that more ports will participate in the scheme whereby the mutual advantages can be developed further: ports receive more quality ships and ship-owners who want to invest in cleaner, safer management, are in turn rewarded for this.
